getting out there:

Little Salkeld is 6 miles North East of Penrith in Cumbria, North West England, and 20 miles south of the Scottish Border.
By car: 1.5 miles from Langwathby off the A686 Penrith-Alston road. 6 miles from the M6 Junction 40.
By rail: Langwathby Station is 1.5 miles away (Settle-Carlisle Line). Penrith Station is 6 miles away (West Coast Mainline).

Ironically nestled in the organic mill cafe at Little Salkeld the 'EAT...' installation, a flashing neon sign, the mode normally associated with cheap, urban entertainment and food,  has sequenced messages questioning our eating habits in a riddle format.
